Clark Labs
a research center within the Graduate School of
Geography at Clark University, located in
Worcester Massachusetts
Worcester
Boston
Clark Labs
closely associated with the Graduate School of
Geography and the graduate program of the
Department for International Development,
Community and Environment, with goals to:
1. provide access to geospatial
technology to as broad a
group as possible, and
2. develop geospatial tools to
address the needs of effective
and responsible decision
making for environmental
management, sustainable
resource development and
equitable resource allocation.
Clark Labs
given these goals, our activities have
been primarily focused on four
areas:
• Software Development
• Analytical Research
• Applications Research
• Technology Transfer
Role of Academia in GIS
Development
• Rapid Development of GIS
• From Mapping to Modeling
• From Academia to
Commercial
Clark Labs in Africa
our activities have been primarily
focused on these same four areas:
• Software Development
• Analytical Research
• Applications Research
• Technology Transfer
